HI

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://padikm@asdstash.isus.emc.com:8443/s

can any one please let me now the user level permissions for the repos to be given so that this works properly. Urgent help is needed.

Hi Madhu,

That looks like a programming error in the ExternalPreReceiveHook class. They're calling PermissionService.hasAnyPermissions which can only be called with a PROJECT or REPO permission. In the code, it's being called with a global permission (SYSADMIN and ADMIN).

Note that this will only throw an exception if the user has insufficient permissions. If you make the user administrator on the repository or project, the check will succeed.

Edit: issue created: https://github.com/ngsru/atlassian-external-hooks/issues/3

Cheers,

Michael
